By European standards this would be a 7.5 ton vehicle and you won't be able to drive it legally on a standard car 'b' license. 7.5 ton means is the max. allowed gross weight (including the truck and load)

To the point.

Although I would have answered the question with a plain "No" from experience/hearsay I try to find some proof. A video in Thai clearly confirms the above.

There is a reason why it's called a "Private car" license.

(3.5 t, max 7 passengers)

 

Also been mentioned already: the license plate is a "commercial" one.

Can only be driven with a respecting "truck" license.

Driving such vehicle is always considered work.

Foreigner will never get a work permit for truck driving ("forbidden" job).

So no sense in issuing truck license to foreigner.

Correct me if i'm wrong but I remember very clearly from exam prep, normal license could drive cars with 12 passengers.

 

“Private vehicle” means: (1) a private car for passengers not more than seven in number; (2) a private car for passengers exceeding seven but not more than twelve in number and a private pick-up truck with vehicle weight of not more than one thousand and six hundred kilograms which is not used in transport for reward under the law on land transport

not more than one thousand and six hundred kilograms

 

I hope that's been changed. Double cab pickups weigh the best part of 2,000 kilos.
